• To open the table of contents, press the MENU key, select “Go to. . .” and then “table of contents.” While there, select the text you want to read with the cursor (use the 5-way controller to move the cursor) and press ENTER.

A hint: an underlined superscript number, word, phrase, is, in most cases, a hyperlink that you can click to move to the linked text. To return to the initial position after following a hyperlink, press the BACK key.

• With the Bible open and no cursor appearing on the screen, press the 5-way controller (see the illustration below) right or left to move to the next (right) or previous (left) chapter. If you see the title of a Bible book at the top of the page, this navigation method will move to the next (right) or previous (left) book.

P.S. A handy cheat sheet of DVJ abbreviations was made by Rakel and can be found on her blog.

I have a couple of minor suggestions to add to the discussion. On my Kindle (a Kindle 3/keyboard), the operating system has no “index” available through the “menu” key. What I learned (through a comment on Amazon) was to use the pop-up search function as follows:
– Enter the book abbreviation (bb) [search pop-up opens]
– Enter a period (bb.)
– Enter the chapter (bb.cc)
– Enter another period (bb.cc.)
– Enter the verse number (bb.cc.vv)
– Double-click the center button of the five-way switch.

Numbers are entered using the alt-“qwerty” approach as described in the original post. The process can be terminated at any step (book and chapter) to go to the first verse at that stage.

Thanks for a wonderful system for fast navigation. This is exactly what I want in an e-book Bible. I only wish I could have NIV/NAS with this system!
